Functional Nanostructures at Surfaces (PGI-3)

Quantum Materials and Collective Phenomena (JCNS-2/PGI-4)

We develop and use scattering techniques to understand the structural and magnetic order, fluctuations and excitations in magnetic systems and in highly correlated electron systems at the atomic level.

Electronic Materials (PGI-7)

We do research together with our partner institute at RWTH Aachen University for the nanoelectronic of the future. For this, we investigateelectronicphenomenainoxidesandelectronicallyactiveorganicmolecules.

Semiconductor Nanoelectronics (PGI-9)

JARA-Institute Green IT (PGI-10)

We develop novel devices and architecture concepts for merging logic and storage components on computer chips. The institute bring together expertise from physics, nanotechnology and electrical engineering in Jülich and Aachen in order to combine ultra-low power logic with novel energy-efficient memristive devices at the nanometer-scale.

JARA-Institute Quantum Information (PGI-11)

Our institute pursues a diverse set of topics that further our theoretical understanding of electronic systems and devices at nano- and atomic scales, and the application of these small quantum systems to new forms of information processing.

Technical and Administrative Infrastructure (PGI/JCNS-TA and ICS-TA)

Our administrative staff provides advice and support in all matters concerning personnel, order processing, public relations and much more. Our engineers and mechanics work closely with scientists; our programmers and IT specialists offer technical advice, develop device drivers and control software as well as imaging techniques for real-time simulations. PGI-1, -2, -4, -5, -6, -7, and -11 are all supported by the Technical Services and Administration department PGI/JCNS-TA. PGI-3, -8, 9 and 10 are supported by the
